EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of rural America during the Great Depression era. Taken in 1936 by renowned photographer Dorothea Lange, this image showcases a field of Virginia wheat in the vicinity of Sperryville. The stark contrast between the dark sheaves of wheat against the rolling hills in the background evokes a sense of nostalgia for simpler times.
Lange's keen eye for detail and composition is evident in this snapshot of agricultural life. The carefully arranged stooks of wheat speak to the hard work and dedication required to harvest crops during this challenging period in American history. The image serves as a reminder of the resilience and resourcefulness of farmers who persevered through economic hardship.
As part of Lange's body of work for the Farm Security Administration, this photograph not only documents a specific time and place but also conveys broader themes related to economics, geography, and regionalism. It is a testament to her ability to capture both individual stories and larger societal trends through her lens.
Displayed prominently as heritage art, this print serves as a visual representation of America's agricultural heritage and rural way of life. It stands as a timeless piece that continues to resonate with viewers today, offering a glimpse into our country's past while highlighting universal themes that remain relevant across generations.
